One more tip for the backend developers: make sure the API implementation is tested against the API specification using contract-testing tools such as Dredd or Schemathesis. I specially recommend schemathesis as it's a lot more comprehensive. I recommend you run those tests in the CI and require them to pass before they can merge their API changes. This is the only reliable way to ensure the API works as expected.
Having the API documentation in a standard format also makes it possible to for you to spawn mock servers directly from the specification using tools such as Stoplight's prism.
